one thing i would like to agree with is where the rubber meets the road is education. the reason why we have this whole argument is a big gap in the academic qualifications children coming out of first grade and high school. that is where we should be pooling our resources. i want to be clear. i am by no means saying that students of color should not be at the best university. if they are admitted on a similar standards, or slightly different standards than the other students, that's great. the problem is not whether you are a student of color. if you are taken into university, you are very much less prepared academically than your classmates -- it is likely to harm you, not hurt you. if you are well qualified, you'll be fine. >> our next caller comes from cleveland, ohio. >> since it is not done out in the open, you do not have any statistics to prove that students that are admitted with an affirmative action program failed. another thing i would like to comment on -- the other program, the other leg of the school, that legacy, what is it called? when you get into col

i wish that higher education have more generally adopted these programs. in fact, since 2010, the century foundation published a book decrying legacy preferences, which we called affirmative action for the rich. i think it is a positive note that states have taken some of the steps. in particular, i want to focus on the class a submissions progress. if we want a system of admissions that is truly fair, we would look not only at how well a student does academically, but also what obstacles they had to overcome to achieve their record. you will see that the research is clear that today disadvantages are far more likely to be based on economic status as opposed to race. this is a study from 2010 which looked at what predicts a student's s.a.t. scores, looking at a large national database. they found it if you are the most social economically disadvantaged, you are expected to score 399 points lower on the s.a.t., the math and verbal s.a.t., then the most social economically advantaged soon. by contrast, the difference between african-american and white studen
